It seems that I can deal perfectly with questions below the 600 level Among the 600-700 level, I've done about half, probably more than half of the questions right. But up to the 700 level, I only get like 1 out of 4 of them right, barely x_xSo what is my potential score likely to be?its critical to me since i have to take that test by next march.and i wanna learn more about the mysterious scoring system, says you answer the first question correctly, it gets you to a slightly harder question, and the opposite if you get it wrong. So does that make a big difference between getting the first questions wrong and getting the same number of the last few wrong? anyone have any more idea about that?thanks!!!!

Well, if you're answering 1/2 of the 600-700 questions right, and you perform similarly on the test itself, you can expect to be in the 600-700 range. The algorithm may not always reflect this, but conceptually your "true" score should be the point at which you're equally likely to get a question correct as incorrect. Based on that, you should fit somewhere within the 600-700 range (although with practice you may be able to improve on this).

but did you guys also manage the time when you were doing the practice?lots of toughies take a lot more time than normal questions, i always assume i have about 2 to 3 minutes for each question, but every time i come acroos these toughies, i get all frustrated about the timing~
